From an article with the caption,
GA Trip to Mineral Point" by a
contributor to the Shullsburg Pick
and Gad, is extracted the following
relative to our zinc works:
We started down town and to the
zinc works, aud never having seen n
zinc furnace before the strange ap-
pearance of the plant was quite at
tractive, bat an intelligent desorip-
ton of the works would require a
much longer time TO study them
than we had, and more space than
could be asked for. After taking n
general survey Of the buildings and
machinery used we inquired if the
proprietor was there, aud was inform
ed that be was. We soon found
and learned that his name was w.
A. Jones, a courteous, genial and in
telllgent gentleman, aud we had to
regret that our time was 80 limited.
He is evidently one Of those men
who takes well at first acquaintance.
We gathered hastily a few brief
items about these works.
They reduce about thirty-two tons
of ore a day, which yields about one
hundred and twenty barrels, of an
uncommonly fine oxide Of zine, and
consume about thirty-two tons Of
coal every day. They run twenty
four hours every day Sunday incla
ded They employ three sets Of
hands or rather work three shifts
day They employ forty-three
hands, the furnace hands getting
$3.50 per day Of eight hours, This
part Of the work is very hot work,
the prespiration standing in large
drops on the face Of the men, al
though they are out in the open air.
The ore is reduced by the intense
heat Of the furnace to yapor that
rises with blast into huge iron
cylinders or tubs, through which it
is drawn by eXhausts and cooled, the
cylinders all being out in the open
air 70 facilitate the cooling Of the
yapor. These cylinders terminate
in the bag room, which Il a large
high room with a vast number Of
large linen bags attached 10 the
Of the cylinders, and the
cooled vapol settles into these bags
the gas passing out between the
meshes Of the linen and the
oxide is caught on the inside OF the
bags, which have to be shaken
dawn about every two hours, into
other and stronger bags below from
which il is taken to the barrellng.
room where it is put up in barrels
and is then ready for the trade.
That the oxide is good is shown by
the demand there is for it, the com
pany being behind in their orders.
The blast is furnished and the
machinery driven by = sixty horse
power engine. If the wages aver
age 1925 per day the total wages
would be about $3.50 per day. The
ore amounts to $500; the barrels used
to $50. These with the running e1-
penses, which without the coal,
would make an expenditure OF nearly
$500 per day.

Paper and Pulp Mills.

The question of establishing q
factory or factories in this city
should always be live one. The
public =, altment needs arousing on
this subject. The hope that has
long existed among the average cit,
izeu, that the surplus capital in our
midst, backed by the uprising of
public enterprise, will yet develop
into factories, is still universal. 1t
has beer suggested that this would
be a good location for a wood pulp
mills or paper factory. This section
is said to be abundantly supplied
with wood suitable for use in such
an establishment.
Mr. Thomas Mellor, an old-time
citizen Of Linden, q while ago re
ceived letter from nephew who
has been engaged in the Turn Lee
Paper Mills, at Glossop, England,
for over twenty years as millwright
and steam engineer. lie was in.
curing for a position IN some such
factory in this country. Accom-
panyiug his letter were samples of
wood pulp and finished paper, and
a book containing the patent pro-
cess of making paper from wood
and full particulars Of the business,
all of which can be inspected by
calling at this office.
If, upon due consideration, it is
found that paper and pulp mills
could be a success in Mineral
Point as well as elsewhere, let's
have one by all means.

WHEN the sheriff weat into the

Burke Fairchild for removal TO the
state prison, he was surprised to
find in the cell a piece of rope of
considerable length and large pen

been there at any time previous.
This circumstance taken in con

The old adage that "music hath
charms" is seldom more forcibly
exempiifed than on Monday when
the opera hall was packed with
eager citizens to partake of the
entertainment by the band and for
It's benefit, aided by some of oui
best vocal talent. Step by step the
band is improving, until now it is
one of the most attractive features
of the city. The male singers tax.
ing part were S. I. Osborne, J. p.
Hankins, John Charles and Thos.
Angwin, all of whom are so well
known, excepting the latter gentle
man, that comment is superfuous !.
Mr.. Angwin, however, has not been
IN our midst long, He takes the
baritone part successfully. These
gentlemen sung quartettes in a man
ner that would be difficult to excel.
The Misses Maxeiner ard Edith
Roberts were the only lady singers.
Miss Roberts, alto, has been a
standing fayorite for years. Miss
Maxeiner is young lady with
whom our people are not go familiar,
she not having been in our midst
very long. Her voice is a rich, mel
odious soprano, and won merited
applause. The band executed diff
ficuIt pieces wonderfully we'll. All
in all it was a grand musical feast,
and we hear it praised daily. The
ball which followed was a pleasant
affair and well attended.

thick layer OF what Is regarded as
dust or ashes. Nothing of the kind
ever took place in that section be-
fore. While many regard it as a
strange phenomenon, there are
others who think it possible that
the high winds prevailing in Dakota
at that time gathered up the dust
of the territory and CARED it over
the line into this state. The super
stition is that the dirt must have
been raised by powerful cyclone
and thrown so high that the attrao-
tion of earths gravitation was al
most lost, and in this condition the
air currents carried it here, where it
freed itself and settled to the sur
face.
